 Any relatively recent Windows 7 installation supports SHA2 Authenticode signatures. This means that the laborious and fragile [wiki:SigningForWindowsVista dual-signature process] can be avoided. You only need the EV SHA2 kernel-mode code-signing certificate, which probably comes in the form of a dongle that integrates with Windows certificate store. The tap-windows6 ''installer'' may optionally signed with a different, non-EV SHA2 code-signing certificate.
